Hello,
How are the ethernet and GPU drivers for Orange PI 2 Plus different from Orange PI 2. On OPI Plus2, I'm using latest  Debian and the ethernet driver does not work. What is the ethernet chip ? Video playback is jitterry. I'm not getting any answers to my other posts. Can only compile drivers if I am given hardware details. Looks like wasted $75.
Thanks
JG.

Video-playback being jittery might be because there's no VDPAU-driver installed or the app you're using doesn't support it.  And/or maybe there's no mali-driver and fb-turbo on it, so X runs using software framebuffer. (I haven't bothered trying Debian, so I don't know if the images come with those drivers or not) As for ethernet, I have no idea. Have you checked you're using the right script.bin?

I'm already using this firmware. What script bin should I use:

1. From inside the rar archive.
2. https://userscloud.com/q53bmjx6804r (Script.bin and uImage for OPI-2 OPI-2 mini)
3. https://userscloud.com/jb8ytwktdybu (Script.bin and uImage for OPI-PC)

Also, please advise when the new firmware would be available.
Thanks

1. From inside the rar archive.

Ok after experimenting a bit I was able to figure out the issue. May be this will help someone.

1. After you download the image that jacer posted here: https://userscloud.com/cxqh3m8ke23t (md5sum d6816b2ce9a067536aaaef80c82b33bd  Debian8_jacer_2.rar)
You should use the same uImage in the rar archive. The default script bin in the rar archive will give you 1280X768 resolution and everything else will work (including ethernet) . The OPI Plus2 has HDMI output so  In order to get full hdmi resolution you will need to use script.bin.OPI-PLUS_1080p60_hdmi_cpu1.2G_gpio30pin.

2. The ethernet works after the above changes but the speed is only 100M not 1G as advertized.

3. Video playback in full 1080p resolution (from youtube) is still jittery not sure if this a HW or SW issue. These are the video drivers that are loaded:
mali_drm                6634  1
drm                   180399  2 mali_drm
mali                  213192  0
ump                    41069  3 mali

Waiting for jacer's new firmware update and will post an update after trying it out.

Hi jyotighosh,
I am trying to do what you described in your last post.
I downloaded Debian8_jacer_2.rar (thank you for posting the md5sum by the way!!!), but when I open it with package manager it looks like it's empy.
If I run:
  1. unrar -x Debian8_jacer_2.rar
Copy code

This is the output:
  1. orangepi@localhost:~/Downloads$ unrar -x Debian8_jacer_2.rar

  2. unrar 0.0.1  Copyright (C) 2004  Ben Asselstine, Jeroen Dekkers


  3. Extracting from /home/orangepi/Downloads/Debian8_jacer_2.rar

  4. Extracting  Debian8_jacer_2.img                                       Failed   
  5. 1 Failed
  6. orangepi@localhost:~/Downloads$
Copy code

What am I doing wrong?
Thanks in advance for any help you may provide.

Hello nicolettacau,
Just saw you post. In case you have not yet figured out how to unrar:
unrar e Debian8_jacer_2.rar
Hope that helps.
